The Canyon

This is my chair, designed by Bensen, a small Vancouver based group that began their operations back in 1981. Started by Niels Bendtsen, they design and oversee the production of an extensive line of furnishings. Their pieces are generally simple, with sleek lines and have the look and feel of hand craftsmanship.

This particular chair, the Canyon, was purchased at ABC in Manhattan about 10 years ago. I recently had it reupholstered  by Elisa Irvolino, but only because it faded a bit and I wanted a new color. After a decade of wear and tear, it's still holding up well. Viva La Bensen!!
